Description

Your job is not teaching. It is motivation.
The most meaningful way to support a student who reached 99% of their target is to refuse to accept it as complete. If that expectation feels uncomfortable, this role is not for you. If it energizes you because maintaining high standards demonstrates your belief in a student's potential, read on.
Alpha students complete academic work through AI-driven applications. No classroom lectures. No physical textbooks. You will spend half your time facilitating one-hour life-skills workshops covering public speaking, concentration, and constructive feedback exchange. The remaining half involves working with students individually or in small groups, analyzing their Coachbot performance data, and driving each one toward 100% completion of their weekly app objectives. You will not follow a rigid script—workshops provide a foundation, but top performers customize them and create new content when needs arise.
Success in a quarter means every student in your cohort completes weekly app targets, passes the Test2Pass assessment for all life-skills workshops, and 90% or more report positive satisfaction with you. Falling short on any of these three metrics means the role expectations are not being met. During your first year you will internalize the operational model; once you demonstrate consistent ability to uphold standards, advancement to Lead Guide becomes possible, where you mentor new hires while continuing direct student engagement.
If you prefer conventional classroom teaching, need fully scripted curriculum, or view compassion and rigor as contradictory, this position will not fit. If your background includes athletic coaching, camp leadership, tutoring where you refused to let students give up, or performance work that engaged young audiences, the final interview stage is a full day on-site coaching actual Alpha students. If that prospect excites you most, submit your application now.
What you will be doing
- Facilitating one-hour life-skills sessions for K-8 groups on topics including public speaking, focus, feedback, and other essential competencies, customizing the framework and creating original sessions when you identify unmet needs
- Conducting daily individual and small-group coaching conversations that drive every student to 100% weekly app completion, leveraging Coachbot data, Alpha's reward structures (campus currency, performance rankings), and individual relationships to overcome resistance
- Delivering the Test2Pass—Alpha's competency-based evaluation—for each life skill, and continuing to coach students who do not pass until mastery is achieved
- Adjusting your approach across diverse age groups, from kindergarteners requiring high energy and physical activity to eighth graders needing direct conversation and personal accountability
- Serving as the adult who maintains standards and the adult students trust; building rapport earns you permission to challenge, and challenging demonstrates your confidence in their capacity
What you will NOT be doing
- Presenting lessons at a whiteboard; academic content is delivered through the applications, not by you
- Creating curriculum from the ground up; you execute an established framework with enthusiasm and narrative skill
- Passively monitoring students on devices; coaching here is dynamic, individualized, and persistent
- Reducing a weekly target to help a student reach it; when a student falls behind, the solution involves supporting the student, not adjusting the goal
- Assessing homework, conducting standardized test preparation, or handling parent outreach; Campus Leads manage family communication, and the other tasks do not exist in this model
Key responsibilities
Guarantee that every student in your K-8 cohort completes weekly learning targets, achieves mastery in each life skill, and finishes the year reporting a positive experience with you.
Candidate requirements
- Able to work on-site at an Alpha campus located in Denver, CO; Atlanta, GA; Oklahoma City, OK; Tulsa, OK; Nashville, TN; Austin, TX; Brownsville, TX; Fort Worth, TX; Houston, TX (Central, South, or The Woodlands); Park City, UT; or Toronto, Canada—relocation assistance provided
- Bachelor's degree in any discipline
- Minimum of 3 years of direct experience with K-8 students in roles such as classroom instruction, coaching, tutoring, camp leadership, or youth program management
- A concrete example you can articulate of motivating a K-8 student toward a challenging objective: the objective itself, your actions, and the result
- Openness to allowing AI to manage instructional delivery while you concentrate on motivation and life-skills development
- Regular use of generative AI platforms (such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude)
- Legal authorization to work in the United States without requiring visa sponsorship (or in Canada for the Toronto location)
Nice to have
- Background in youth sports coaching, debate, camp administration, theater, or extracurricular programs where you held direct accountability for motivating children toward defined outcomes
- Demonstrated personal track record of high performance (academic, athletic, or career), indicating that maintaining rigorous standards for others reflects your natural approach rather than an adopted stance
- Communication and presentation ability sufficient to engage a group of 12-year-olds for an hour without needing to escalate volume
- History of converting unengaged or reluctant students into motivated contributors
